Lgbt pub nights?

Hey all! Does anyone know if there are any gay nights at any bar? I didn’t frequent Pinks as it was more like a club.

If not, shall we try and make one happen? ☺️

With who do you do your boiler service?

3 Upvotes

Morning all, recently moved to MK and my boiler had a sticker with a phone number.

Long story short, called and they're asking for 180 for the annual service.

Am I in the wrong to think it's a mental price!? Last year in London I paid 130 with a company.

Have you got some recommendations please?

Apologies if not that clear, not a native speaker, so if something doesn't make sense pleae let me know.

Thanks

Loud siren in north MK

7 Upvotes

About an hour ago I heard what I'm 85% sure was an air raid siren off in the distance. It lasted about 30 mins before the wind picked up and now I can't tell if it's still going. Have I gone mad? has anyone else heard this or have any information on it?

Places to eat similar to Wetherspoons

3 Upvotes

Hey guys, budget would be the same as the price you get in Wetherspoons, around 10-12 pounds per person ( not necessarily the same cuisine) any really nice place to sit and talk to friends. Anything fun to do there, like playing pool or maybe something different?

Also please do recommend me pubs which offer pints for less or equal to 4 pounds. My fav drink is beer, rum and coke. Sorry guys, a student here who is new to MK.

Thank you!!

Is using Skyline taxi for airport run advisable?

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I am considering pre-booking Skyline taxi to take me to London Gatwick on a Sunday morning in November and was wondering if it’s reliable.

It’s more affordable than uber/bolt but I thought to check if anyone has used and would recommend them as I don’t want anything to go wrong as you can imagine.

Thanks!
